Coronavirus and cancer hijack the same parts in human cells to spread - and our team identified existing cancer drugs that could fight COVID-19

Most antivirals in use today target parts of an invading virus itself. Unfortunately, SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes COVID-19 - has proven hard to kill. But viruses rely on cellular mechanisms in human cells to help them spread, so it should be possible to change an aspect of a person's body to prevent that and slow down the virus enough to allow the immune system to fight the invader off.I am a quantitative biologist, and my lab built a map of how the coronavirus uses human cells. We used that map to find already existing drugs that could be repurposed to fight COVID-19 and have been working with an international group of researchers called the QBI Coronavirus Research Group to see...

Fighting the elements, not the enemy, on India's China border

Death is a real and constant danger for the soldiers serving on India's Himalayan border with China, but until a deadly brawl on June 15 the only killers since 1975 have been the topography and the elements.
